Message: Hi Kenny my name is Robert I am 11 years old. I have been playing guitar for almost 2 years now. My Dad recently took me to see you at the Stone Pony, where you put on an amazing show, and you were nice enough to sign my guitar. I will keep it for life. I hope one day I can play like you. If you are ever in our area I hope to see you again, I will be a lifelong fan.

Saw you last night at the New York State Fair. You absolutely blew me away! Your interaction with the fans is awesome, and the crowd just loved you. You are on the same level as the best blues guitarists that ever played. Saw you about 10 years ago at the PNC Bank Arts Center where you opened for Van Halen and also saw you play at the same venue with BB King. Just ordered reserved seating for the November 18th gig in NYC at the BB King Blues Bar and Grill. Can't wait to see you set those guitars on fire again. Also can't wait to add the new CDs to my collection. Thanks for such a great performance.

Message: Hey Kenny,I bought your album \'10 Days out\', and wow...just blows me away every time I listen to it! This is the BEST project I have ever heard and seen! The music is INCREDIBLE, and still can\'t believe it! The blues greats you play with inspire me to keep tryin' on my guitar, Gatemouth, Bryan Lee, BB, Cootie Stark, Etta Baker, EVERYONE on that album amazes me...the Buddy Flett duet with you in the Graveyard always chills me it is SO damn good! Buddy is an amazing guitar player. I'm blown away by what you can do with your guitar Kenny, wow - if I could only play a TENTH as good as you can, I\'d be really proud. I absolutely love your music..you\'ve got the Blues in your soul! All the best Kenny, thanks for the amazing music!!!!
AND, thanks for the inspiration...Jim

Message: Kenny, I have seen you perform on three separate occasions in Raleigh, and each time, you are so much more powerful than the last. The first time I saw you was when you first started out, and you had just put out your first cd. Keep up the great work, fantastic music, and we\'d love to see you in the Raleigh area again. Ron

Message: Just came back from the Dutch Mason Blues festival in Truro Nova Scotia, Canada. I don't normally do this but i had to let you know how much I enjoyed the concert. Your band was the highlight of the weekend for me. My husband and I were amazed at your talent. We enjoyed listening to your music as we have all of your CD"S and will defintly buy more as they come out, but there is nothing like seeing the real thing live. Thank you for an excellent performance!!!!

Message: Hey Kenny,
Saw your show Saturday night at the Dutch Mason Blues Festival in Truro, NS and you and your band killed it!!! I've been to several blues festivals now, but will never forget this performance and your playing and intensity. Keep on playing (and living) the blues and come back next year! theunknownz.ca

Message: Hi, my name is John. I am a huge fan of your music Mr. Shepherd. I've only been listening to you for about a year now. My friend gave me a cd of yours last year and I usually don't believe him when he says he found a good artist but you quickly went down as one of my favorite guitarists of all time. The cd was Ledbetter Heights, i can’t stop listening to \"What’s Goin Down." It was so well written and the guitar is amazing. I live in a town called Clifton Heights, its right outside of Philadelphia. I was hoping maybe sometime if you\'re on tour you could do a show in Philly. We have very few good blues artists come through here. But if you get the chance, it would be really cool if you performed around here. Thanks for reading this and i hope to see you play.

Message: Just saw you perform in Seattle, without a doubt you are one of the best live performers I have seen in my life. Thanks for the great show. Brandon

Message: Awesome guitar playing and music Kenny. I love the way you can control your speed and make it sound good. I noticed a lot of guitar players think playing fast is good, it is good, but you must know when to play fast. I have noticed listening to your tracks that you know when to do this. I am currently learning the blues and you inspire me to learn more. Mind if I ask what kind of strings you use to get that good blues sound? Anyways, keep up the good work, and I wish the best for you.

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your coming to Jefferson Wisconsin a few weeks ago, for the fair. That was by far the best live performance I've seen, and I have seen some. It was awesome and I look forward to seeing you again sometime. Your group is outstanding. There is nothing standing between you and a bunch of Grammys in the future. 10 days out has to be the best blues documentary of all times. I personally promote it. Keep on Bluesin'… Duane West Allis, Wisconsin
